in order to understand hormone-deficiency in children, you have to understand normal HGH secretion in the body. the pituitary gland in the brain produces and secrets HGH. When it fails to produce enough HGH, one becomes deficient. When this occurs, a biosynthetic form of the hormone can be injected as a form of therapy. This hormone is made by inserting the genetic blueprint of it (the HGH DNA)into bacteria, which then produces the hormone. this is called recombinant DNA therapy. Although this is meant for children, studies have shown that this can elderly people as well. Many people misconstrue this therapy form in adults as a fountain of youth because it can help them lose weight and gain lean muscle.
Although a lot of the terms used are medical term, they are vital to understanding the process of GH therapy.
well written very informative
ReplyDeleteThis is a topic that seems to have growing concern both in the world of professional sports as well as for people with medical needs as you have stated. What is your reason for choosing this topic? This seems like it could have the potential to be hard to write on especially in trying to capture an average audience. I'm a huge sports fan and have read a few articles concerning this topic and they tend to have a dry and medical terms type feel. But perhaps you may find a new take on writing about this topic. Good luck.
